I hope you enjoy your learning experience. So it would be to the user's advantage to print out a copy of the manual to use to follow the lessons given. This manual is designed for the user to follow along as the user is using the program in front of him. I have written this manual using the KISS principle (Keep It Simple Stupid) this manual is designed in Chapters and simple instructions so that even someone entirely new to LibreCAD and CAD in general can learn to use it. This is a user manual/guide for LibreCAD.

22.1 Lessons in using LibreCAD for knitting patternsĪuthor of first version: Bob Woltz (2012 (?)).

The option Dithering->False is important here, otherwise the algorithm would try to minimize the quantization error by dithering which would lead to very small regions.

You can specify the number of colors in the result (10 here) and later we will transform the regions of every color on after another into a vector graphic. One fast and easy way to segment this image is to use ColorQuantize. This depends strongly on the input and cannot always be prevented. Preferably, those regions should be not too small. Therefore, what you have to do is to break you input image into regions with similar colors, with whatever definition of similar. In a vectorized image you want not only a realistic look but if possible only a few large regions to keep the number of polygons to a reasonable number. A usual 8 bit color image with 256^3 possible colors has in the worst case a different color for each pixel. The first thing one has to understand is that color vectorization happens in multiple scans, which means regions of equal color will be transformed in a polygon-representation. In the following sections I explain what steps are necessary to vectorize a color image in Mathematica.

The only question was, whether it gives reasonable results. Then I read about how this is done in real applications and read the documentation to Potrace which is the underlying tracer of Inkscape.Īt this point it was clear to me, that we can achieve this with the tools included into Mathematica. I stumbled over this issue while thinking about this answer here where in my opinion a high quality vectorizer would be of great help. With good CPU and memory resources even in a very high quality.
